Light over Fairacres, NM

The report, as filed

I had just flown in from San Diego, and my mom and I stepped outside to look at the stars...for 33 years I have always looked up at the New Mexico sky knowing that someday I would see a UFO. And finally there it was... My mom saw the lights first and said "look, look!" as the kids ran around in the darkness unaware of what was going on...neither my son or daughter looked up, but I did, and I could not believe what I saw or felt...the only other experience that would capture the feeling I was having was seeing the Marfa Lights in Marfa, Texas, last year... that feeling you have inside where you have "a knowing" that this is something bigger than you, that it is something powerfully magic and real… My mom counted 3 more lights that she saw before I did but we would explain the lights as almost of a fireball quality...there was almost gentle pulsating of yellowish/orangish/reddish fire light... a light in the middle showed up then disappeared! and it was replaced with a light on the left side which showed up then disappeared and then a light on the right that did the same...if the lights were labelled 1 2 3 in a straight line next to each other, I describe it that light 2 lit up and disappeared then light 1 lit up and disappeared and then light 3 lit up and disappeared and then all of them fade away and completely disappeared...I also felt that there was some sort of a square feeling to these circle lights... i can't explain it other than I felt a squareness. This siting happened as we were looking towards the Organ Mountains. This happened so quickly so no photos were taken but I pointed my compass afterwards and felt that it was 18 degrees N and somewhere around 32/18'/58" N and 106/50'/37" W.
